Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[Andy]

I hate it when celebrities have awesome opportunities to do something great and then douche it all up.

example: Zooey Deschanel is on sound opinions this week describing her record with M Ward.

"It was a totally organic experience.  You know, it was "of the moment", just totally organic.  And we only used "real" things so that we could keep it "of the moment".  We recorded everything on tape, except for the stuff I recorded on protools. But we didn't tether ourselves."

Also, M. Ward was the ONLY person she would have recorded this album with, allegedly.  They just happened to get paired up on another project.

What the fuck.  How about "It was great.  I was lucky to get to work with this guy.  I'm really lucky that I had the opportunity"

I just had to buy a new laptop b/c the old one was shitting the bed, and I put my $ into a Toshiba Satellite, sight unseen. Well the genuises who designed this thing gave is a cool "Fusion Finish" which is all black and shiny. problem being: after using it for more than 5 minutes, it becomes absolutely covered in fingerprints and not only looks disgusting, but the keys become kind of gross to touch. My boss has an HP that has the same sort of finish on it. don't they do fucking focus groups for these things?

Also, Twitter. I don't give a shit what you are having for lunch, "friend".

My work Macbook has the same finish.  Makes me feel like a greasy slob all day long.

Andy, it's crazy you started this thread because I was driving around and "California Dreamin'"
 came on the radio and I was thinking how much I hated that song, and that I hated it so much that I was going to start a new "stuff you hate" thread on the fot board just to express that. 

yeah, so anyway: "California Dreaming" is so annoying and it sucks!!

The raccoons have taken over the sewers in my neighborhood. Scary little fuckers. Not so little, actually.

After midnight they all crawl out of the sewers and try to take over the whole neighborhood. They are horrifying and evil. Look, I like animals as much as the next guy. I like doggies and kitties. There's some awesome friendly cats in my neighborhood. But these raccoons ... I'll be riding my bike home from one of the Oakland bars, and all of a sudden those guys are jumping out of the sewers and staring up at me with their beady little eyes. They're gonna take me out one day. It's only a matter of time.

And the other night they were waging some kind of raccoon gang war outside my apartment building. It went on for hours. I think they were fighting over the ownership of the garbage cans belonging to my building. Some of the most demonic screeching I've ever heard.

Fuck these fucking raccoons!

there's a family of gypsies in my neighborhood.  they just hang out on the corner all day, asking if they can have change or do body work on my car.  but it's like fuck it dude, i like the dents and shit on my car.  way more than i like supporting gypsy economies.  i feel like they're always looking down on me and shit.  but it's like, if you gypsies are so great, then how come it took you so long to develop a written language?

Right now I really despise a colleague. I do nights, four-on/four-off. The other guy in the rotation (who I never ever see) thinks we are some kind of nightshift brotherhood and calls me at 3am to talk about nothing, usually him lying about 'bending over' the woman who did our training or to spout vaguely homophobic bile about a colleague. I felt pretty crappy on Saturday morning and texted him to see if he would cover my shift. My one text received 16 separate replies, one of which was sent seven times. Here are some highlights:

- u dont need sleep u go 2 work 4 that
- what do u need sleep 4! u fukd my sleep by conacting me! (x7)
- if u eva contact me again outside of work i promise u a stenna stairlift wont make things easy 4u.
- U are a class A WANKER. 2 even contact me

His latest trick is to sign me up for some ridiculous porn text service, but my phone is so crappy that I can't receive pictures but I'm getting billed to receive this smut (and for the cancellation text in return). Thank little baby Jesus I have handed my notice in before this guy gets too attached.

I don't usually participate in hate threads; I'm a lover not a hater. But this fella...ew beuy.

You always know how to surprise me, Raad_Man.

Maybe this will help, then again...maybe not.

I have to admit that I love Raad_Man a little.

Uh-oh.  Is it the racist humor, or the cock rock?

[Martin]

What humor?

I hate that so many American acquaintances have started conspicuously using British-isms recently:

-"Cheers"
-"Mucking about"
-"When I was at university..."
-"Brilliant"
-"shite"
-"a proper _____"
-"colour"
-"arse"
-"get a pint"
-"dodgy"



Is it okay to slap these people?
